Problem

lazyforge supports Forgejo, Gitea and GitHub. Add a GitLab adapter so it works against gitlab.com and self-managed GitLab. The PM asked for it on 2026-10-12, ahead of the post-v1 items design.md lists before it (diffs in the Files tab, box [4]).

Acceptance criteria

A user can onboard a GitLab host (gitlab.com or self-managed) and use every feature that works on GitHub: repo list, boxes [1]–[3], the Repo box, details, ★ Renovate, merge, approve, close, comment, labels, update (u), open in browser (PM, 2026-10-12; design.md → v1 scope, Keymap).
All children below are merged or closed with evidence.

Tracking

Tracking issue, too big for one MR.

#	Child	Driver	Depends on
#138	Client and core Forge methods, Approver, ADR 0018	opus	none
#139	Pipelines, jobs, job logs and labels	sonnet	#138
#140	Repo box (README, branches, commits, files) and update branch	sonnet	#138
#141	Connect to GitLab from onboarding and the host picker; design.md + README	sonnet	#138
#142	Run Renovate now on GitLab	sonnet	#138
#145	Name box `[3]` on GitLab hosts	sonnet	#139
#143	Inline images on GitLab	opus	#138

#138 first; the rest are independent of each other afterwards. Close this when the last child lands.

Context

API research done 2026-10-12 against docs.gitlab.com (summarised in #138's Context). No live GitLab account is wired up yet, so fixtures are synthesised from the docs and the architecture.md GitLab column stays "unverified" row by row until someone runs it against gitlab.com. The employer GitLab instance is never used for this project.
gitlab.com's Free tier drops to 100 API requests a minute from 2026-10-19 (GitLab blog), so request cost matters even more than on GitHub.
